Park in the car park located below the Route de Sénanque, Place René Cassin, near the gendarmerie.
(S/E) Leave the car park, follow the road for about 50 metres, then turn right onto the small road (GR®®6) which climbs steeply towards the Route de Sénanque.
(1) Turn left and follow this road down for about 200 m.
(2) Turn right onto Chemin de Granan, towards “Village des Bories” and “La Sénancole”. Continue along this small tarmac road to the T-junction, then turn right. Stay on this road, ignoring the various side paths.
(3) At this point, a sign on the left indicates “private road”. Take the private road to the end, then the small path that descends to the left beneath the property, which is closed off by a gate. This path leads to a small road which you take to the right until you reach the village of Les Bories (which you may wish to visit).
(4) Take the path that starts at the village exit on the right, beneath the boundary wall. This path leads to the Sénancole valley, which you then follow northwards.
(5) Do not continue into the valley (as the path becomes quite difficult further on), but leave it and take the good path that branches off to the left towards the hamlet of La Débroussède. Continue along this path, which climbs steeply above the valley, keeping to the right at every junction. Reach the hamlet.
(6) Continue straight ahead (north-east) along the path marked by a large cairn towards Sénanque Abbey, which comes into view perched above the hamlet shortly afterwards. Walk past the abbey on the right.
(7) Leave the abbey via the small path that branches off to the right above the car park towards Gordes. This path leads to the Route de Sénanque, which you follow to the right for about a hundred metres.
(8) Take the correct path (GR®®6) which descends to the right towards Gordes. Join the Route de Sénanque and follow it for about 200 m.
(1) Turn left, then left again at the end of the street to return to the starting car park (S/E).
